We have not yet made a decision text

abbeyv95

Hi all
ive received the following text this morning 
“ We have not yet made a decision on your PIP claim. We will write to you when we have made a decision. You only need to contact us if your circumstances change.”
how long after recieving this text did you hear if you’d be successful?
thank you x

Some it’s a couple of days but others it’s much longer. There’s no timescales after receiving that text.

To be fair when I called up on 4/5 the guy on the phone said it’s taking 2-3 weeks from when they receive the report back. Which would mean it’s 3 weeks this coming Wednesday. However when I phoned on 11/5 they said it’s around 3-4 weeks from when they receive the report… so I anticipate hearing by a week on wed  
there are different times depending on where your located. 

You could phone tomoz and ask what the timescales are in your area. 

Advice call dead on 9am and you get straight through

@abbeyv95 Hopefully you might hear something back by end of this week then! And I will do thank you. After having my assessment report the assessor scored me to have enhanced on both daily living and enhanced. Have you asked for a report yet?

abbeyv95

@concon07 aw that’s brilliant news, yes I had my report back and it was the same, enhanced for both. Which will really help me! 

Just keeping everything crossed they go with that

This goes to show that the call centre have no idea on the timescales really. They just sit there telling you what you want to hear. Backlogs are just part of the reason a decision can be delayed. In reality timescales are more like anything up to 12 week once the report was returned. Some take less than this and some take longer.

Hi,all. In fact,sometimes it's better to be prepared to wait. I am already waiting 12 weeks since my assessment and I think I will have to wait more 🙈

 It makes me so anxious waiting. I don’t know why. I’d rather them just say yes / no on the phone. 

Don’t want to call again this week as I don’t want to pester already busy people. But agh!

VET505

Yes I know kind of makes your mental health worse worrying about not getting it and starting the next process. Hard enough getting a phone call with the GP been trying for 7 days now they say the same thing “call back tomorro every time getting sick of it. the system is a big mess

I’m sure we will get the text any day now keep us posted!

abbeyv95

Still nothing, it’s making me so anxious

@abbeyv95 give it time stay positive 

abbeyv95

Morning all!
so I’ve not yet received the we’ve made a decision text, HOWEVER, I have just gone to phone them asking for an update, and the automated line asked for the last 4 digits of my bank account number (it never usually asks this). It then goes on to tell me my next payment date is 14th June! 

I’m on hold now to speak to someone

@abbeyv95 The automated line is known to give inaccurate information, backdated payments don't show on this either. I hope it's good news when you get through to an advisor.
